Thanks but school e-mail is down all week and I didn't do that. Have seen doctor today and she has said that I need to resign today, which has made me absolutely certain that this is what I want to do.
The question now is - do I phone the head during her holiday so that I'm only a day late or will this really p*** her off?

I think it depends whether anyone is in school over half term week. If the letter was written on 31st May and there was no one in school until after half term, then I can't see the difference between pushing it through the letter box a day late, and it wouldn't make any practical difference to the school if no one was there to open it until after half term.

I know that the office at my school was staffed over the week, and it is likely that the Head would be there, at least on some days. If I were a Head I think I would make a point of being in school on May 31st and/or June 1st, so that I could start dealing with last minute resignations as soon as possible. Even it that were not the case, I still think it is best to be honest.

I'm sorry this is all rubbish! If you had wanted to resign by email - even if your school email was down, you could have sent it none the less.
It would have appeared in the inbox at some point showing the time and date it was sent.
Why waste your time emailing and complaining/scheming on here rather than emailing your school, followed up with a hard copy?
You could have done it, could you not?

Gosh what a horrible bitter twisted person you are crezz!!!
Yes I could have sent an e-mail to prove a point but then it may have been read before I had spoken to the head myself and that would have felt rude!!!!!!!!!! and thoughtless!!!!!!!
Why do you think that I am complaining or scheming? Are you for real?
